using the supplied bolts. See fig 2-C. (Do not tighten at this point)

4. Tighten, the bolts at the upper handlebar on

Handle with arrows should be in left side. Handle with broom should be in right side. See figure 2-D.

7. Mount the gear rod

A. Mount the middle part of the lever fig. 3-A in the bottom of the gear rod fig. 3-B (the short part which is fixed by a bolt should point downwards) and turn it approximately 2 rounds. (note; anticlockwise). The arrow on the gear rod should point towards the top of the machine. B. Put the gear selector in 4th gear. C.

• Activate free wheel shafts, see fig. 7-A At hard ground (e.g. paved road), it can be a good idea to activate free wheel shafts.

• Activate fixed wheel shafts, see fig. 7-B At soft/lose ground (e.g. dirt road) it can be a good idea to activate fixed wheel shafts Generally, the machine will be easier to manoeuvre with free wheel shafts. Operation safety zone Do not leave the operation safety zone marked in fig 5, while working with the machine. If it is necessary toleave the operation zone, for example to readjust the rotary brush or to attach an accessory, first stop the engine. Angle adjustment of accessory The accessory can be pivoted 20 degrees to either side. This is done by pushing the swing handle down, turning the brush and releases the handle so the detent clicks into place. Changing of handlebar height

1. Remove the small bolt from the gear rod

middle part (fig. 6-B).

2. Loosen the 4 bolts on the middle of handlebar

(fig. 6-A) and take the out.

3. Move the upper handlebar and the gear rod

part up/down with same number of holes (fig. 2-F+G)

4. Mount all the bolts again on the handlebar and

gear rod and tighten them again.

5. Check that the gear rod (fig. 6-C) easily can

move into all position. If not, the bolt on the gear rod middle part is probably not placed in the correct hole. Storage

Correct storage of your sweeper! Store the sweeper, so that the brushes do not touch the ground. This will extend the durability and lifetime of the brushes.

• Lower the support wheels about 50 mm so that the brushes are floating above the ground before the sweeper is disconnected from the basis unit.

• Disconnect the sweeper from the basis unit.

• Tilt the sweeper back, so it rests on the connection-part, and let it stand in that position during the storage period. Never let the brushes rest on the ground for longer time. It will cause them to bend and be useless. Fig. 10 Troubleshooting Problem Solution The en
